Rubbish

 

It really is a good idea to put rubbish into different containers if there is a recycling service in your town or city. Recycling saves energy and natural resources, and it reduces the amount of rubbish that goes into landfill. For example, all your food waste should be separated as this can be recycled to produce electricity or fertilizer. For glass, this can be recycled many times. This saves using natural resources and energy to make new glass.

 

There are very few things we can’t recycle. Glass, paper, food, cardboard and metal are all OK. Tetra Pak are trickier because they are made from various materials which are difficult to recycle. PET bottle recycling is complicated, too. It’s expensive, but possible. Clothes are in a different category because they can be reused rather than recycled. They just need to be washed and given to somewhere like a charity. And lastly, shopping bags. These are mainly made of plastic and can’t be recycled. The best thing is to reuse your own bag.

 

It’s good to wash certain items as it makes it easier for them to be recycled and it also reduces the problem of smell. The two types of rubbish you can wash fairly easily at home are glass items, like bottles and jars, and PET bottles. It’s a good idea to wash drink cans, too.

 

One way to reduce the amount of rubbish we produce is to be careful what you buy. For example, we waste a lot of food because we don’t plan our meals properly or just buy something because it looks tasty. We should cut back on the amount we buy and eat everything we do buy! It’s simple, really.
